We could request them, perhaps...

Though in general, drinking tea with such a straw is unheard of.

siiiiiiips through the straw]

I see you're one to break trends.
unsaid: (☾ i will again search for you)

[personal profile] unsaid 2022-07-28 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Some tradition is worthwhile, others are less so.
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 1-1)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2022-07-29 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[he gives a light laugh.]

I imagine some might consider that sacrilege? But you're right in that this bending of tradition is rather harmless.
unsaid: (☾ so let's talk until then)

[personal profile] unsaid 2022-07-29 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
It is good to do a harmless thing now and again.

[he's so benign... so well-behaved...]

Do you wish to stay here, my friend? Or shall we venture elsewhere? Now I do wish the village remained a bit longer...
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 1-3)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2022-07-29 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
We can go elsewhere. This room doesn't mean much to me.

[he has truly just been using it to store shit and also eat orca's snacks because he hasn't needed to sleep here]
unsaid: (☾ i will again search for you)

[personal profile] unsaid 2022-07-29 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Ha ha ha. I will not pretend to be surprised.

[literally as soon as he saw the bed wasn't used he was like 'yea shess probably doesn't come here much'. he doesn't even have a cute partner to check on]

If I ask you where you would like to go, would you be able to answer honestly now?
nonbelligerent: (the night it rained fire. 19-3)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2022-07-29 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it'd still be the courtyard or the mountains. It was tiring enough to pretend I had no sense of joy or hobbies [because orca fckin doesn't]—so I did at least take the opportunity to go outside when I could.
unsaid: (☾ connecting the scattered stars)

[personal profile] unsaid 2022-07-29 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
No flowers... No hobbies... No interests outside of work....

[don't sound so fucking sad

they're going to the courtyard tho]


You nearly had me, my dear...

[until shess' voice was weird when they met but still]
nonbelligerent: (your seven years. 5-4)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2022-07-29 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
You really had to go for me immediately, didn't you?

I felt it reasonable to commune with my fellow elder…

[IT WAS JUST LUCKY]
nonbelligerent: (the night it rained fire. 19-3)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2022-07-29 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
It was rather unfortunate for me that Orca's profile had that line...
unsaid: (☾ a secret yearning)

[personal profile] unsaid 2022-07-29 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps it was fate…

[shut up]
unsaid: (☾ we will walk)

[personal profile] unsaid 2022-07-29 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ok he’s laughing]

… even if I do not believe that anything is “meant to be”, I do believe that there are people we are meant to meet.
nonbelligerent: (the night it rained fire. 19-2)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2022-07-29 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
... Well.

As much as I wouldn't have wished this place on you, it hasn't been so bad to meet you again.
unsaid: (☾ the image of those who)

[personal profile] unsaid 2022-07-29 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
... it is a funny thing, that you are not the first to express such a sentiment to me - but even if my hostage was not present, I think I would have always chosen to be here.

Seeing you again has merely been a fortuitous opportunity, amidst all else.
nonbelligerent: (the night it rained fire. 20-2)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2022-07-29 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
... Somehow, that doesn't surprise me, given how much of a busybody you are.
unsaid: (☾ so let's talk until then)

[personal profile] unsaid 2022-07-29 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
A busybody... In a way, I suppose. To be told as such from you is its own compliment.

[shess was so in everyone's business in subd,]

And how has this place left its mark on you, my friend?
nonbelligerent: (the night it rained fire. 19-5)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2022-07-29 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[someone had to wrangle kara with tsuru dead]

Well, it's always worthwhile to hear about different places and ways of life.
unsaid: (☾ for those who wait for the day of batt)

[personal profile] unsaid 2022-07-29 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, indeed indeed. That is perhaps the greatest boon of these experiences. All who we may cross paths with, and what we may learn.
nonbelligerent: (twisted bird. 12-7)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2022-07-29 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[he nods.]

Truthfully, I don't think all the murder and whatnot is all that new to people like you and me... [which might sound callous but, like. looks at their lives] So it's the other aspects that provide a new experience.
unsaid: (☾ no matter how many times.)

[personal profile] unsaid 2022-07-29 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[honestly

yea]


... the ways in which emotion and desperation can appear in different forms at least deviates slightly from the expectation. I would almost call this place as chaotic as the village, even though the people were largely more amenable.

[but it being a crau game really messed with things,]

How was it, to be seated apart from the rest of us?
nonbelligerent: (the return. 3-6)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2022-07-29 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm...

[he seems to be thinking about this.]

I think some of the other staff members struggled more with overseeing than being a direct participant. For me, though, it suits the way I do things better.
unsaid: (☾ that i couldn't see)

[personal profile] unsaid 2022-07-29 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[nodding....]

I felt similarly - it is not as though watching over others is something that fails to come naturally to us.

Yet I personally found the constraints of the role to be a bit odd to handle as well, and I never had to hide that I was myself...

[so he wonders what it was like for shess]
